摘要:
This disclosure provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that can act as agonists and/or antagonists of PD-1 (Programmed Death 1), thereby modulating immune responses in general, and those mediated by TcR and CD28, in particular. The disclosed compositions and methods may be used for example, in treating autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, allergies, transplant rejection, cancer, and other immune system disorders.
摘要:
The invention provides an antibody-toxic moiety conjugates comprising an antibody that specifically recognizes a molecule expressed on the surface of a T cell which is expressed only on T cells and is only expressed transiently on T cells upon T cell activation. Preferably, the T cell molecule is CTLA4. The invention further provides anti-CTLA4 antibodies and humanized forms thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for modulating an immune response comprising contacting an immune cell with an agent that modulates BTF4 or B7-L1 mediated signaling. BTF4 or B7-L1 mediated signaling may either be increased, to thereby downregulate the immune response, or alternatively may be decreased, to upregulate the immune response. Modulation may be either activation or inhibition, and contacting may occur in vivo or in vitro. Performance of this method in vivo is also potentially therapeutic for an individual who may benefit from the upregulation or downregulation of an immune response. Such modulation to downregulate the immune response serves as a therapeutic e.g., for an individual who has received an organ transplant, or has a condition such as an allergy, or an autoimmune disorder. Alternatively, modulation to upregulate the immune response serves as a therapeutic for an individual, e.g., who has a condition such as an immunosuppressive disorder or a tumor. Methods for identifying an agent that modulates BTF4 signaling or B7-L1 signaling is also provided.
摘要:
Polynucleotides encoding the IL-13 receptor and fragments thereof are disclosed. IL-13 receptor proteins, methods for their production, inhibitors of binding of IL-13 and its receptor and methods for their identification are also disclosed. Methods of medical treatment using such molecules and antagonists of the IL-13/IL-13R interaction are also provided.
